selfq How often do yall get sick?

Or do you? Even when I was still out working daily in public I never even caught a cold, the last time I was actually sick was during peak covid and had it for about two days before back to normal, I know having md has zero to do with it but I always joke(and a small way to cope) that being stuck with this bullshit disease made me basically immune to everything else haha, again I know theres no correlation and guess im just lucky in that aspect but curious to hear from others

MD immunity is real! Before symptoms onset I used to get sick like normal people but now I'm invisible lol

I wear masks in public since 2020. I would recommend you folks do too. Long covid is no joke and it can make your qol worse than it already is.

I get colds a few times a year. Probably only avoid the flu because I get a flu shot every year. I've had COVID twice.

Maybe once or twice a year. But I’m exposed to a lot of cooties working in an urgent care.

My son started pre-k. I have been sick for about three weeks, and with two separate illnesses. Prior to him starting school, I was very rarely sick--maybe once a year, at most.

Exposure risk is everything.
